<br />The Ford Mustang 5.0 has been gone for some time, but with the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/05/18/return-of-the-5-0-ford-exec-confirms-400-hp-coyote-v8-coming/">new 32-valve, 5.0-liter "Coyote" V8 on its way</a>, the badge could make a comeback and undoubtedly it'll be more successful than Vanilla Ice's past attempts.<br /><br />After some digging through Ford's parts database, a forum member at TheMustangSource came across a "5.0" badge and an accompanying part number that could find itself attached to the 2011 Ford Mustang. Supposedly, KC also found listings for three new engine/transmission combos for 2011: the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/06/16/report-2011-ford-mustang-to-finally-get-new-3-7-liter-dohc-v6/">3.7-liter V6 reported earlier</a> (with both auto and manual gearboxes), a 5.0-liter (with the same transmission options) and a supercharged 5.4-liter. Although we're treating this with a healthy bit of skepticism, it doesn't seem beyond the pale, and if <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rog8ou-ZepE">Van Winkle plays his cards right</a>, maybe Ford will tap him for the marketing campaign.
